| 1 | Can you file a complaint with the court over the opposing counsels ineptitude?This. My stbxw lawyer is playing games with her discovery submissions. Charging her to accept them, sending them to us without telling her you are missing this this and this causing my side to waste time and money to tell them you are missing this that and that. Meanwhile my discovery is complete. My lawyer called out her lawyer and my stbxw and instead of complying, she challenged us to subpoena the records. My lawyer gets pissed then gets a motion to compel. Then he sends a letter saying ok we… | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/03/25 12:59 AM |
| 10 | What's the "Silver Bullet Method" in a divorce and should we be concerned about it?This. My stbxw filed a false ppo to get me out of the house. No evidence just statements saying that I am dying of cancer and that I will kill her and my daughter and live in fear daily. Luckily I had camera evidence of her being violent towards me. As soon as her lawyer found out she was the violent one, she dropped the PPO because if the judge saw the evidence she would be in trouble. Never going to forgive her not only for making me waste thosands of dollars on a lawyer , but to take away 2 w… | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/02/25 01:30 AM |
| 4 | How did you handle your ex’s birthday every year (during and after divorce).Last time I said happy birthday to her was 6 weeks before she declared seperation with intent to divorce. My birthday was later that year during in home seperation. Instead of saying happy birthday to me, she ended up spending time with her paramour and his family and taking a picture with them. I just don't care about her bday anymore. I don't say happy Thanksgiving or Merry Christmas. The only important birthday to me is my daughter's. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/02/25 12:57 AM |
| 2 | Does it get *any* better once papers are signed?For me it's a no. It's been nearly two years since I filed against her and two years since she has been moved out. She still furious that I filed against her and all she wants is the money from the sell of the house to pay off her 50k in post seperation debt and start her new life with her paramour. She doesn't care about our daughter or what she is doing to her. Only 1 of two ways this will get better. She gives up and moves to Europe with her boyfriend. My cancer comes back with a vengeance, a… | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/01/25 05:44 PM |
| 3 | What would be your reaction if your daughters do the same thing to their future husbands?I can't tell a 9 year old her mom is fucking another guy who is not her husband. She is in therapy. I am in therapy. My therapist agrees it is not a good idea to tell her mom broke her promises (vows). My daughter's old therapist scolded stbxw because these trips were hurting our daughter but she didn't care. Eventually therapist gave up and right out said these trips are here to stay. I was getting ready to fire her and switch to a new therapist but luckily she was leaving but still wtf ? | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/01/25 01:05 AM |
| 3 | What would be your reaction if your daughters do the same thing to their future husbands?That's a fear that I have as my daughter enters her tween years. Growing up I never dated anyone. I had low self esteem and wasn't great looking. Little to no female friends. Had tons of crushes. I asked this one girl out to prom and was told she had a boyfriend and showed me a picture of him on a cd cover. College I started feeling a bit more braver but was broke as hell. My first girlfriend was after I came back from college. The relationship lasted a few years and I did propose to her and lat… | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/01/25 12:19 AM |
| 1 | Said goodbye to my best friend (dog)Mine dog napped both dogs. Instead of providing the medical attention one of them needed...she instead bought a cat and a ginny pig. Months later our first beagle we rescued prior to the marriage got really sick and the vet told us (when we were now seperated) it was time. I was more hurt than she was. I loved that beagle. Yes I could have fought for their return but I was undergoing chemo therapy and doctors appointments. She abandoned the marital residence and I had to pay for the upkeep of th… | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/01/25 01:16 AM |
| 2 | Said goodbye to my best friend (dog)During a false ppo slapped on me, my stbxw took the dogs when she moved out. One dog was rescued before the marriage and another one after the marriage began. The senior dog had special needs. She took her meds that I bought for her and never refilled her medication. 8 months later I got the call from stbxw that the dog wasn't responding and looked very sick. Met her at the vet and the vet said it was her time. I was so devastated. I loved that beagle. Stbxw prioritized her spending with her par… | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/01/25 11:16 PM |
| 1 | Will she submit discovery?We agreed to delay the discovery exchange when our daughter started responding to the effects of the divorce by mom filing a false ppo against me and abandoning the marital residence with no notice to our child. I put her thru therapy. Then last year she finally submits her discovery 16 months after we issued it to her. Holy cow it was a mess. Missing bank statements. Claims she has no retirements but enters numbers but no supporting documents. Vague to missing answers and so on. I start working… | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/01/25 05:33 AM |
| 1 | If I file (first)During in home seperation I kept my cool while she unleashed her fury on me trying to bully me out of the marital home. I found out I had cancer and told her and that made her even more mad because she thought I was lying to stop the divorce. Because of the on going threats towards me, I ended up putting cameras in the house when she started making threats like she will make up a false accusation and get you removed by the police. Months later she was granted a PPO against me. Luckily those came… | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/01/25 02:44 AM |
| 2 | Did your Ex stay with the AP?Stbxw filed a PPO to get me out of the house so they could find stuff to use against me in the divorce. She knew that's where I kept our tax records and important files for years. She found the proof I was gathering about the affair as well. That was destroyed by her friend. I had a camera in the office when during in home seperation I started noticing things go missing. She knew about the camera and even pointed it out to her friend and they raided the office anyways. I didn't know about it unt… | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/01/25 10:29 PM |
| 2 | Did your Ex stay with the AP?No I didn't. I had the proof but when her friend raided my office they found the paper work and destroyed the application knowing that I was building evidence against her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/01/25 09:57 PM |
| 3 | Did your Ex stay with the AP?Before we seperated, she was demanding that I fill out the passport application and go with her to get a passport for our child. I trusted my gut and said no. I later found out she filled one out and forged my signature. To answer you question, yes I could see her do that. I will never sign a passport application for my daughter. Some redditors here told me a judge could force me to sign one. I honestly wish she would just give up and move to the other country. It would save all of us a lot of m… | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/01/25 01:48 AM |
| 6 | *UPDATE* Did you guys give your STBXW the courtesy of letting her know you were dating again?No...but she decided to make porn videos with him in the marital home while the home security cameras recorded everything. She knew one was there but did it anyways. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/01/25 10:24 PM |
| 9 | Did your Ex stay with the AP?Mine is still going to see him in another country multiple times a year while the divorce isn't finalized. I still can't figure out how this is going to work. We have a daughter together. He lives in another country, divorced and has shared custody with his ex wife. He's not going to abandon them just to move back here. Stbxw can't get a job over there because of all the paper work she has to go thru. My theory is this. She either wants my cancer to kill me or hopes that the judge will grant her… | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/01/25 09:33 PM |
| 3 | Separated but living together until we can sell the house. Any advice managing heavy emotions and strained dynamic?I've told my story so many times here. In home seperation was hell. She kept on leaving the country and abandoned our daughter to be with her paramour then came back and acted like she did nothing wrong. She wanted me out of the house but I stood my ground. She got violent and I had no choice but to put cameras in the house. They recorded her violence and eventually saved my ass when she filed a PPO against me. Now she's even more pissed that I filed for divorce and she abandoned the house witho… | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/01/25 09:15 PM |
| 10 | So how many of you believe your ex wife is/was having a midlife crisis?During in home seperation she told me she is going thru a midlife crisis. I looked at her, thought about the international affair she's having, then gave her that go fuck yourself look. No excuses for abandoning our child to have an affair with a guy in another country. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/12/24 04:34 AM |
| 3 | Cheating STBXW term day/trial is causing more stress than the divorce itself.I have no money for the trial. She has no money for trial. No money, no lawyers. She doesn't care if she goes into debt for the rest of her life as long as I am destroyed or in jail. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/12/24 10:52 AM |
| 1 | What to do if she drains the bank account?I agree but from everyone's perspective including her lawyer , I am the thief. Heck she is currently accusing me of stealing thosands we took out for from the refinancing of the house. I used it for schooling and she knew of it but is making it look like I stole it. She wants me to pay her back even thought it was used for schooling. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/12/24 10:23 PM |
| 1 | What to do if she drains the bank account?Well in the story she told everyone, I'm the thief so... | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/12/24 10:03 PM |
| 1 | What to do if she drains the bank account?My stbxw threatened not to pay the bills or mortgage because we are getting divorced. She went on vacation to be with her paramour so I took exactly what I needed from the joint bank account to pay the bills and I also checked another joint account which had plenty of money so I wouldn't leave her with nothing. She screamed bloody murder and told everyone I drained the account. She even bitched to her paramour and the idiot called me to put the money back. Now I have his number lol. I can prove … | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/12/24 08:59 PM |
| 4 | Who else felt like they were forced to initiate the divorceShe wanted the divorce but I didn't. She quickly turned hostile. She wanted me to move out of the house and went to the extreme including filing a false PPO against me. That was the last straw and so I filed for divorce against her. She was a liar, a cheater and a violent person and I didn't want her anymore. Now she's pisssd I filed against her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/12/24 12:50 AM |
| 3 | Can STBX force me to turn in credit card statements?My stbxw turned over a joke of a discovery. Her statements were incomplete and out of date. She claimed she had 50k in Credit card debt but she provided nothing to prove that. My lawyer saw the same thing and we prepared a letter of deficiency and second request for documents. Stbxw claims she sent everything but this isn't true. Not sure if her lawyer skimmed over her discovery and didn't notice or purposely let her incomplete documents slip thru in order for us to spend money to send the defic… | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/12/24 08:27 AM |
| 2 | Is there a possibility of using opposing counsel?Shit as the lower I income earner that filed for divorce against my cheating spouse, I should try to file for her to pay for my legal fees. She clearly has enough to go on international trips and provide financial support to her paramour. What OP said scares me as my lawyer said we could toss a motion to compel but no real harm comes out of it for not complying. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/11/24 10:09 PM |
| 1 | Mediation vs CourtLawyers love to drag things out in high conflict situations because it means more billable hours for them and the firm. I'm on my 3rd lawyer and during the consultation he said we should offer a settlement proposal even though stbxw did not submit her full discovery and is hiding assets. I told him I have nothing except the house and no savings and smaller retirement than hers, which she is trying to hide. My last lawyer fucked me over by fucking up my full discovery, admitted to fucking up yet … | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/11/24 09:45 PM |
| 1 | Exclusive use of the house?I am a little concerned that she could try to file for temporary possession of the home even though she abandoned it nearly 2 years ago. Some people say she moved out on her own free will before the divorce was finalized, others say it doesn't matter as she can still try to claim the house. I think it's going to be a challenge because she hasn't paid into the mortgage since she left. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/11/24 02:31 PM |
| 5 | How much was your divorce? Did it go to trial?I filed against her and now she's taking me to trial to Weezel her way out of paying child and spousal support banking on her friends and family ganging up on me by making false testimonies against me hoping the judge will feel sorry for her and give her everything she wants. Never mind that her plan will cost us the house and leave her with a projected 10k after lawyer expenses and so on. Not worth it. Fucking idiot. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/11/24 12:17 AM |
| 4 | How long did it take for your wife to get served papers from the day of paying for the attorney retainer?My first lawyer said we can file and serve her the day we win the PPO case that she slapped me with. He ended up taking his sweet ass time after I paid him the retainer to file and serve her(nearly a month). I should have dropped his ass. Ugh. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/11/24 03:48 AM |
| 3 | Wife filed false TRO restraining orderHey there. My story is one of many cautionary tails people share on here. I am glad your story ended up well. I'm not there yet but eventually I will be. As for my prognosis, doctors caught it early and there is treatment for it. I started chemo for 6 months last year (after dealing with the PPO) and now in remission. It's still inside me but has shrank a bit. I'm in maintenance therapy for the next 2 years and don't need chemo anymore. I am struggling financially every month since she refuses c… | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/11/24 02:15 PM |
| 2 | Wife filed false TRO restraining orderHi OP. I am sorry to read that your wife slapped you with a TRO. I had a PPO slapped on me last year during our in home seperation. The reason? Because she wanted me out of the house so she could remove my stuff, hold it hostage, make a room for herself and control things until leading up to the final weeks leading up to her being able to file for divorce after one year seperation. During that one year in home separation, I was never violent with her, tried to keep the peace but all she wanted w… | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/11/24 10:50 AM |
| 1 | Parental AlienationDue to my cheating stbxw abandoning our daughter for the paramour needs, and other stupid actions...there is now a rift between them. Stbxw blames me. Stbxw hates the fact that my daughter has a stronger bond with me than her. Everytime it looks like the relationship is starting to heal, stbxw goes on her mysterious trips and abandons her and lies to our daughter. Instead of realizing the damage she is doing, she blames me and accuses me of Parental Alienation. Sorry but I shouldn't be wasting m… | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/11/24 09:07 PM |
| 2 | Staying in marital home and custody questionsAs a person who was slapped with a false PPO, here is my input. Stbxw declared seperation with the intention of filing for divorce in 1 year. Ordered me out of the house. Tried to convince my parents to force me to go live with them. Tried to bully me out of the house. Spoke to lawyers and they said I have every right to live in the house, keep it civil and document every interaction like as in record it. It got so nasty to the point where I had to put up cameras to document her violence towards… | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/11/24 11:47 AM |
| 3 | I know there is a hidden camera, what do I do?When my stbxw became violent towards me during our in home seperation, I notifed her that I would take additional steps to protect myself and my daughter. She went on her beach vacation with my daughter and I went ahead and setup cameras in various common areas of the house including the kitchen, hallways, living room and so on. I placed them in areas we had the most arguments where she would get angry. They were never in the bathroom and required to be plugged in for power so now battery. She c… | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/11/24 03:17 PM |

| 2 | Does cheating affect anything during a divorce?This. If you can prove thru banking records that she's been spending money on the guy then she can't fight that. Mine was stupid. She used our joint account and bought plane tickets for her international trips to see him in Europe and buy him tickets to see his family here in the US. She also paypal him thousands. Now she is claiming she has no money to pay for our daughter's schooling or for her medical/therapy and braces. She makes 110k and I make 40k. So big disparity there. What she is going… | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/10/24 03:06 PM |

| 2 | Has anyone here filed for divorce against their cheating spouse only to have them take YOU to trial?I have also accepted the reality that even if we divorce tomorrow, she will always be hostile towards me because I filed for divorce and found out about her affair. I have told her this and she just doesn't care. The AP is either clueless on how crazy she is or just cares about the money she is giving him and his family. She doesn't realize he can ghost her and then what? She cries,"you used me for money " to the AP? Yes our daughter is being hurt. She's in therapy but the therapist is starting … | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/10/24 10:39 AM |
| 1 | Has anyone here filed for divorce against their cheating spouse only to have them take YOU to trial?I considered that as well. Yes she makes more than me but she mis manages her money. My guess is that she is monitoring the value of the house and thinks oh give me/sell the house or else scorched earth. She doesn't have unlimited funding. From our limited conversations it sounds like her parents are getting ready to disown her. I can't afford this much longer and the way my lawyer is going radio silent since I haven't replenished the trust account is very concerning. My lawyer hasn't come forwa… | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/10/24 10:20 AM |

| 1 | Has anyone here filed for divorce against their cheating spouse only to have them take YOU to trial?The affair is one thing, but to spend what is suppose to be child support on international vacations and paramour support is showing she doesn't fucking care anymore. I can't pay for the trial and the lawyers aren't going to do, pay me I win deal. As for child support, she can afford it and had no excuses to not pay. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/10/24 10:53 PM |
| 1 | Has anyone here filed for divorce against their cheating spouse only to have them take YOU to trial?I don't think our finances are complicated. Yes she hid 40k in Credit card debt during the marriage which was resolved when we refinanced the house. We were married from 2012 until seperation in 2022. So 10 years. Live in the state of VA. How can a FA help with her records? I can see her paying the paramour money via pay pal(it says so on the statement and user name) and when she buys plane tickets which is wierd because the statements tell me the travel destinations as well. My lawyer is going … | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/10/24 10:47 PM |
